People Of The Scripture Who Are Hypocrites

LESSON
# 370 FROM HOLY QUR’AN

People
Of The Scripture Who Are Hypocrites

Surah
‘Aali ‘Imran (The Family Of ‘Imran, Chapter - 3)

Verse
–72 & 73a of 200, Section –8 (Part – 3)

72. And a party of the People of the Scripture say:
Believe in that which hath been revealed unto those who believe at the
opening of the day, and disbelieve at the end thereof, in order that they may
return.

Cunning activities and embezzlement of the People
of the Scripture have been discussed in these verses. Their one ingenuity was
that “some people of the Scripture use to become Muslims with planing in the
morning and offer prayers with the Muslims. But they would have to disbelieve
in the evening saying: [we have come to know from our great scholars. After
verification it is found that he “Muhammad” (grace, glory, blessings ans peace
of Allah Almighty be upon him) is not the Prophet, about whom glad tidings was
told. And his circumstances also did not prove like the right person]” (God
forbid).

Resultant the persons, who are weak in their
belief, when they will see that some Muslims have left Islam, they will also
return away and will suppose that surely there might be any fault and blemish
in the religion Islam, due to which these people have seen off it after
embracing Islam. The Ignorant of the Arab considered the People of the
Scripture as great scholars and learned persons. By this reason, they will
imagine that if this new religion were true, then such “learned persons” would
not reject it, despite they would use to accept it before all.

Along with this plan, the Jews were also taught
that, “Publicize obligatory yourselves as Muslims before them, but remember
that really you should not embrace Islam. Notwithstanding remain the Jews. Do
not be taken in the Muslims. Moreover, remain follower whole-heartedly of the
Divine religion of Moses (peace be upon him). The only purpose to offer prayers
and worship along-with the Muslims should be that it would be left afterwards
and will deceive them whose belief is weak. We shall follow only our own
religion”.

It appears from this verse that how they made up
their minds for enmity of Islam with cheating. In what manners they schemed to
deceive the people. But Allah Almighty is Protecting Guardian of the Muslims.
They will never succeed in their plans. It is duty of the entire Muslims to be
careful also at their own places and they should escape themselves from the
mischief of the enemies of Islam. For example; danger of Israelite state in the
center of Islamic Countries, its preparations and plans against the Muslim
states are sufficient to open our eyes.
